DVD Cover Research - Green Street


This is the DVD cover for the film Green Street which is of a football hooligansim genre which is clearly shown from the cover shown on the left. The cover itself has been converted to greyscale to show the mysterious characters and that they do something wrong and not following the law in the film. Because of this it appeals to many as they want to see this as many of these aevents are present in real life today. Obviously in the film these elemts are exxagerated but still it appeals to a wide audience who are into hooliganism, fighting films. The characters which are shown by a medium close up on their heads appear to be straightbacked and appear to not be moving. This creates a defence line or barrier which shows to us they plan to fight. This links with the caption 'Stand your ground and fight!' which is next shown in the lower image on the cover. The charactersd have all turned to boystrous males who appear to be in a gang/firm which may have just won a fight with another football teams firm. This is shown on the face of one of the characters who appears to have a bloody nose. As i have already said these events are of real life happenings and appeals to many so for this reason are present on the front cover. The only colour on the page comes from the title of the film which is a contrasting red to the background which stands out amongst the other areas.
